Best artiste in Africa


Soon-to-be first Nigerian to win a Grammy


Truly talented and blessed.


StarBoy

Win Grammy with wetin him dey sing? The best shot African musicians have at winning the Grammy is in the 'world music' category. Ladysmith black Mombasa, Angelique kidjo and others that have won multiple Grammy awards conquered that category with their DEEP, RICH, ORIGINAL, ETHNIC African sounds. Except you are exceptionally talented in the POP, RnB, SOUL genre and you are based abroad like Seal and Sade Adu and the likes, forget it. What genre does Wizkid sing? He himself is confused whether it is Pop, RnB or Afro beats. His style isn't pure ethnic African, neither is it mainstream pop. If the likes if Baba Sunny Ade and Fela or Femi Kuti did not win Grammy, na wizkid naim wan win am abi him sing reach the shadows of those baba them wey I mentioned?

I came from a staunch Catholic family, my dad is a knight, he has held many positions in various catholic association, right now he is down with partial stroke for the past nine years now.

In 2014, I got married to my Anglican husband with the full support from my parents,but my daddy's only sister, who lives in the village,was strongly against it,she fought our kinsmen when they secretly anchored our first for the fear of being reported to the church, threatening to report to the parish priest, saying that Catholics are not allowed to marry non Catholics in our village,she went ahead and reported l and my parents to the church.

Due to my dads condition, they couldn't go, so i went alone but was shocked at what the priest told me, he made me choose between the two churches, making it clear that if i wed in Anglican, that I have chosen darkness over light.

To cut the long story short, I successfully got married but my aunt made her own family and our kindred not to attend my traditional marriage, it was rather attended by the non Catholics, and also the church made my parents not to attend my white wedding, that if they attend, that they will not bury them when they die. But now, even without attending my white wedding, the church still insists that they will not bury my parents if they die since they allowed me to marry an Anglican, except if they openly apologize to the whole church.

My question is apologize for what? Please am not trying to paint catholic black, I was a devoted catholic even till now, but this?? pls NL, I need the address to the head of catholic church in Nigeria,I need answer to this please question

If you really want the Catholic Church to bury your parents, I will suggest you take the matter to an higher ecclesiastical seat, maybe the Bishop of your diocese or something. I am not Catholic, I am not Anglican either so I don't know how these kind of matters are resolved in your denomination. Just my humble opinion. God help you.

If this is a way for Tekno to trend and achieve fame, I say it is a good and noble way to trend and achieve fame.

How can you be a pastor and be an oba same time. The 2 don't mix together.

Na before o. A friend of mine attended one prayer revival at one ori-oke (mountain top) come see kings that has turned prayer warriors. In our culture, they said kings don't leave their head exposed, he told me that I should come and see kings that have flung away their crown, praying with all intensity and vigour.

I see Gionee marketers have invaded my thread. I'm calling out Gionee's attitude of not updating their phones. If you are happy to use Windows XP on your computer, that is your business. The rest of us have the right to ask that a phone that costs N120K to buy should run latest OS and get updated for at least two years after release. My two living Gionee phones (M5 and M5Plus) are not serving me right now. The M5 is with wify, while the M5Plus is enjoying its retirement in my drawer, waiting to be dashed out. I will sell it for 50K to anyone who likes running old lollipop on their phones. Only Ibadan peeps, please.

By the way, my Mi Max, which costs about half of what I paid Konga for my M5Plus, has Snapdragon 652, 6.44 inch screen, 3GB of RAM, 64GB Storage, outstanding battery (4850mah) and running Android Nougat 7.1.2. I have no doubt that I will get a custom rom upgrade to Android O when it lands. The Gionee marketers should keep using their outdated phones.

They aren't Gionee marketers in my opinion. I love gionee very much. If not for recession, I would have bought another gionee when I wanted to replace my m3 mini. This hot4 lite I bought feels like a toy to me compared to the gionee phones I have used before..

It's /fɔ:k/
The same way you would pronounce 'falk'.

Forget that fake 'ferk' pronunciation.

None of the options is correct but B is close

(IPA): /fɔːɹk You are correct. the 'or' sound is long like forrk. That "ferk" is a fake accent. I thank God I did oral English in secondary school.

Shuooo! 2go still dey exist? I no know o.

Update: Babe just chat me up asking if I can sponsor her to complete her undergraduate programme after which we'll get wedded.

Obviously, my answer is NO! Cos the marriage isn't set and cast in stone already.

I can't come and carry responsibility wey pass me. If her papa no fit give her basic education, must she Lord it over me?

Wetin una think o jare?

NB: Thank you for the responses so far.

she get someone giving her wrong advice and ideas. When the bank statement didn't work, she used the sponsorship of her education as the next bait. You gave her the PERFECT ANSWER. Just leave that relationship and look for better girl to avoid one kain story later.

Me sef, I appologise too for my bad mouth. I just feel sorry for the kids das all.

Thanks. God bless you.

delishpot:
Demon you still dey follow me about? Fire!!!! Oya go kill the children chop because dia papa use bad money train them. Did I tell you I care about his wife? Block head where did you find me say his wife should be left out of it? The kids were being abused and she decided to ask that they be left out of the drama and I totally agree with her even though blood suckers like you would rather drag them out to be stoned to death and me too for pleading on their behalf. Your kind would say I want them shielded from the drama because I prolly ate from his loot.
Ope! he has been arrested his victims would find justice and he would pay for his crime. What else do you want me to do? You speaking out of sentiment and it is funny. That I say his kids should be left out of the drama means I support their father? chai. You can still try training ya goat sha. E never too late maybe I should also send you my dog and a ruller so you can train them with your goat? Then try go that school with your goat too. You need the education more than that goat and it would be a shame for your goat to be smarter than you.
No worry Dem go soon expose your own nyansh. People wey dey do gra gra like you naim sabi do evil pass. You spit on my face? Only spit sorry spit again. The first spit no reach me. My face still dry Try open ya diarrhoea ridden nyansh and shit join yeye dey smell.

Mu guy I am sorry for all the insults. let's be civil and matured. I am glad you stated that you don't support her husband's criminal and murderous activities. What I was trying to say is that she was the one that brought her children into all these just to gather sympathy (as seen from the link I sent you in the last post) but the public is having non of it, she got angry and started swearing for members of the public as if they are responsible for her calamity. In saner climes, she should be arrested with her husband as an accomplice or accessory to the crime as alleged by Evans that she knows what he does and has collected ransoms on his behalf. Why will she post the pictures of her crying family begging for mercy on behalf of their father. I am sure she did that when the first picture "SHE" released trying to depict the husband as a loving family man and good father to his "lovely" kids.
She released those pictures of her children herself to gather public sympathy that is my anger. The public and Freeze are wiser than that. Did you even hear her story when she stated that her husband's step mother is responsible for how her husband turned out? Just a typical Nigerian mentality of blaming everyone but oneself for one's predicament.
Peace.

delishpot:
Shut up abeg. You are as evil as the Evans if not worse. Dem never catch you naim make you dey form. Freeze should leave her kids out of it. You too should leave them. If you are half as smart as my slippers you should know that she made a plea on his timeline because she saw her kids photos there and she is like any concerned mom(which I can guess you never experienced such as a child) trying to protect her children and distancing them and herself from her husbands crime. She did not just run to his page and post curses. Something drew her to it. You are too ignorant and daft hence you see no biggie in what he does. Your level if reasoning is Zero. That I said his kids should be left out of it makes me sound like someone who ate out of his loot? Your upbringing is quite poor.

You are a waste of education. My goat should have been trained instead of you. Freeze,'s initial question was if you could sell your wife out as alleged by Evans that his wife sometimes collects ransom on his behalf. He never mentioned his kids. She was the one that posted the pictures of her kids and herself shedding fake tears pleading for her husband to be forgiven and released. She started the whole drama her kids, when she saw that her gimmicks don't fly with reasonable people (except gullible idiots like you) the plea and pictures she posted did not elicit the sympathy she craves, she was now looking for who to pour her frustration on. So your concern isn't for the innocent victims fleeced and killed by Evan's terror squad, your concern is about seemingly "innocent" kids who were raised with BLOOD money. SMH for you. Even earthworms can't reason like you. Since you support this Evans demonic reign of terror, What will you say about the children of the policemen and victims your mentor Evans and his gang has killed. You must also be a blood sucking Criminal. Don't worry, your own cup go soon full. You will be impaled and skinned alive until you die a slow and painful death. Oloriburuku somebody. I spit on your face. https://www.nairaland.com/3866704/kidnapper-evans-wife-uchenna-begs

Stop dragging me back. why select only the portion that suits your logic out of all I wrote? I don't care about her and freeze. I said he should leave the kids out of it. Is that too hard for you to process? Haha. If she curse him, let him curse her back. Those kids are innocent. Stop this bush mentality and move progressively forward. Your boss may have paid your salary with crime money, should I come and start harassing you and your kids because you ate out of it? And truthfully so? Guy stop doing selective judgement abeg.

Are you so dumb that you can't make sense of what you read. Freeze never mentioned about her children his initial post in another thread. She was the one that brought her children into the issue. She was cursing people who put her children's pictures online and maybe linking them to the whole issue. Freeze only reiterated her position and stated that all she could spare a thought for is her children's privacy not the innocent victims whose life has been shattered by her husband's crime and incidentally her children are also fed from the proceeds if her husband's crimes.
You speak as if you share out of her husband's loot or you support kidnapping. You are only trying to be smart by half while supporting kidnapping.

IamaNigerianGuy:
e

Unlike you, I dont have an opinion. If you dont want your fallacies to be exposed, do not comment on a public forum.

Ok, like I said in another post. NOBODY HOLY PASS SHA.
I don't support kidnapping or other vice that brings tears to another one's eyes for you to live an opulent and ostentatious lifestyle.

delishpot:
Go back and read. He mentioned her children were also eating the money so they part of it. The woman say she no dey among them. For all I care she may have delivered money she doesn't know the source or purpose of. A simple instruction from her husband to take money to someone and if she asks how he got the money, he is bound to tell her the truth?

Her children eat out of the proceeds of her husband's crimes, Isn't that the truth? Is this statement an insult or abuse? Is she God's "secretary" to determine who God will visit calamity upon? She should face this her own calamity and not involve other innocent people in other to gain pity or play the victim.
Though, NOBODY HOLY SHA.

delishpot:
Freeze behaved childish when he brought her kids into it.

Freeze did not abuse her children. Freeze wasn't the one that released the photos of her children into the public domain. If she is really Evan's wife, then her comments are shameless as her grammar. The only thing that concerns her in all her husband's criminal drama is the privacy of her children. No apologies to the Family and children of her husband's victims from whose proceeds of crime herself and her children eat from. SMH for how some people reason.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Your 'honest opinion' is warped and illogical

Then give us your own "logical" 'unwarped' opinion. busy body. Maybe you too shared out of the proceeds of her husband's criminal activities.

delishpot:
That freeze is too childish see his foolsh reply na. Because evans use bad money to raise his kids means they should be treated like crimnals and their image tarnished? If the press can blur out faces of killers , rapists and other criminals, why thenshould those innocent kids privacy not be kept private? Did freeze ask his own dad how he got his money when he (freeze ) was that age? His replies are too childish abd daft. He needs to grow up.

In my honest opinion, Freeze isn't childish here. She has no right to curse anyone here. Are the people she is cursing or wishing an evil predicament responsible for her and her husband's woes? Lots of lives have been ruined, lots of families have been shattered so that herself, her husband and children can live an ostentatious lifestyle. Those are the real victims we need to spare a thought for, not her and her children. They aren't the victims here, they are the ones closely akin to the VILLAIN. It is only natural for the public outcry and anger rubs off on them too.

Kkposky:
OP.... you are wrong...
let me start for no 5.
The gala u explain is a name of company... it is called GALA..
The one u pronounced is event/ festive... like FIFA gala nite..

ask is ask
library is li-bra-ry

the only one u got correct is meme, pronounced as meem..
make sure u research properly before posting next time.. anyways, thanks for making me know how to pronounce meme

The op just did copy and paste without checking the correctness of the article. Thank God I and some other people sabi oral transcription small.

Bahddo:
You only got 3, 6, 7, 8 correct, despite the fact that you don't know how to transcribe. You were describing the sounds.

1) you made ma-She-ti sound like ma-She-teh.
2) K isn't silent in the word 'ask' in any version of English.
4) /lai-bri/ is also correct in British English. You are wrong to say it's wrong.
5) the snack gala is different from the event gala.
9) en-ji-near is even the more common pronunciation both in American and British English.

You should always check your dictionary before posting stuff like this. There isn't only one correct way to pronounce a word.

He is wrong to say number 7 is wrong. That is American pronunciation he described. He got so many wrong.

Wasnt it this same woman that testified sometime ago how she had used her bukka business to become a landlady in Lagos, and send her kids abroad.


Moral

Take every fabulous testimony with a pinch of salt.

Do you still have the link to her testimony?

HungerBAD:
You are a big disappointment.

You,Afam4eva,Malton,TonyeBarcanista,and and even some crazy ones like Anonimi and that Cuckoo bird Ephi123 and a host of others here,are those i have complete respect for in their writeups.

I might not agree with the things you guys write,but they are sensible and worth reading.

It takes a lot to impress me,and to think you are like this?i am disappointed in myself to have thought you intelligent all these many months.

Maybe he is only being sarcastic.

ziego:
Please I need your review and experience on these phones as I needed one of them.
You can as well suggest a preferable one of same class.
Thanks

Gionee is a far superior phone to tecno. I have used Tecno, Gionee and now I am using infinix hot 4 lite. the gionee I used cost lesd than half the price of my infinic and tecno, but in terms of performance, The Gionee trumps them all.
This is just my own user experience.

vickylincon:
no offense sir, when do you start watching ball... saying ronaldo can do all that amazed me. I doubt you watched him play in united

The way some people just lie down in their "dirty" rooms and comfortably type rubbish just amazes me. Imagine the guy saying Ronaldo cannot dribble. Did you remember that Ashley Cole clip we used to watch on our Java phones back in the days?

CarlcareOpebi:
Hello @Sektion what centre did you visit? Kindly send your actual name & phone number to our mail box.

Hello, CarlcareOpebi. I almost had the same scare as sektion. I have explained my experience in previous posts. This hot4 lite I use that is barely 2 months old is prone to overheating while charging. Since the overheating started, my battery drains faster and takes longer to charge. The NON REMOVABLE BATTERY design of this phone is an error.

The hot4 is an HOTPLATE. It is prone to high temperature while charging. Mine gets hot too sometimes while charging. It is barely 2 months old. I don't know if I can say I regret buying this phone. Other people's might not experience such high temperature.
